Rear leaf springs are available from any Mustang supplier. Eaton spring supplies the most accurate reproductions, but they are more expensive than a standard style replacement. Since you have a '73 Mach, you have competition suspension, which utilized a 138 lb/in rear leaf. I've used the 71 429CJ spring in several cars with excellent success.

I have new leaf spring, I’m looking for spring that sit on the rear end

That's not original. Looks like a J.C.Whitney overload, add-on, special.
With the correct leaf springs you'll be able to throw them away. “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” --Albert Einstein

Holy crap! overload springs AND air shocks! Did the PO use your car as a dump truck?
Throw all that crap away and get a proper shock. You're missing the axle bumper int he bracket.

So the air shocks is not the way to go, I was about to order a replacement

With the correct springs you won't need them. Hard telling what they were carrying that needed that extra weight capacity, but if it were me, I would check every nook and cranny, especially the drop-offs in the trunk, for leftover contraband.

Ok I’ll get rid of the air shock and spring and check on a axle bumper case
